NEC Trials Cashless Payment by Facial Recognition

Tokyo, Japan, June 21, 2016 - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced a series of trials for cashless
payment services using its facial recognition technologies at small shops inside its head office building in Tokyo. These trials are being
conducted from late June to the end of August as a part of NEC's initiatives to apply its biometrics authentication technologies, which
have been recognized as the world's most accurate*, to a range of services, including cashless payment, aiming to enhance the reliability
and convenience of the identification process.

This payment service uses NeoFace facial recognition technologies, featuring NEC's facial recognition algorithm, which have been recognized
as providing the world's highest authentication accuracy*. This enables identity verification by matching employees' pre-registered facial
images against the images taken by a camera that is installed near a point-of-sale (POS) terminal at the check-out counter inside a shop. With
the introduction of this technology, retailers can provide shoppers with payment services, without using cash or credit cards.

During this trial, NEC analyzes authentication performance and operational workload under a wide range of conditions inside the shops,
including the types of cameras in use, installation position, lighting, balance between security and convenience and others.

In April 2016, NEC launched a large-scale trial of its "Walkthrough Facial Recognition System" at its head office. This biometrics system
is capable of recognizing people in motion using facial recognition technology without the need for the subjects to stop in front of the
camera. These cashless payment trials are the second round of NEC's trial campaign to promote its biometrics authentication technologies.
